I started to play Dishonored today. I played for two hours and only got 5G for completing the stage one. Then I took a look at the trophies. Most of them are something like "end the game without allerting anyone".

I confess, I would like to get a lot of trophies, but some of them makes no sense. Instead making you to have fun, they become a torment to achieve. That system of getting rewards is very simple, just google behaviorism. You can Control dogs using it. Thats what softhouses try to do.

But my point is: hard to get achievements is one thing. Nonsense achievements is totally different. Sometimes I feel bad finishing a game without less than 50% completed. Well I'm trying to work my mind to not to care about crazy or, even worse, hidden achievements. I know theres a plenty of guys showing how to do everything on You Tube, but Im really interested leave it behind and just play the best I can.

Achievements aren't something I typically go after, personally. I'm more interested in the story of the game, or having fun with friends than I am with going after achievements that do little more than bump a number that shows up beside my username a tiny bit higher. I have a 15,000+ gamerscore, but that really doesn't mean anything to me.

It's fine if that's what you're interested in, since that's what they're there for, but I typically never finish a game with more than 45 - 50% of the achievements completed, if that.

Unless you are actually unlocking some game content, it doesn't really interest me. Or, if I'm just bored and say, "What the hell?" like, with Limbo's die 5 times or less (I did it btw) that was fun. But something that's just tedious and pointless is boring to me. I think what would be cool was if you could buy stuff for your avatar with G points on XBLA.

By the posts above, we all think in the same direction.
